Ugh, who isn't dealing with dry skin in some form during this time of year? Besides anybody lucky enough to be living in southern California or Hawaii? That's what I thought. Practically nobody.

One of the biggest reasons we all seem to have more dry skin this time of year than, say, during the summer is because of all the dry air. Cold air holds less moisture anyway and then we go pumping dry heat into our homes and make it even worse. Check out these other top causes of dry skin and see if you aren't inadvertently sabotaging yourself and making yourself miserable this winter -- spring is still a ways away!
